Hello XDA community. I was reading at this thread

[RECOVERY] ClockworkMod Recovery for Vibrant (FINAL! SAFE!)

and I did everything in there as it states, what Im trying to do is to flash my cell with ClockworkMod but I cant get this to work as after I have made the steps below it doesnt takes me to ClockWorkMod Recovery options

Installation instructions:

Download ROM Manager from the Market.

Flash Recovery.

Choose Vibrant as your phone.

Accept the Superuser prompt.

On the very FIRST boot of Clockwork, you may need to manually select "reinstall packages" if Clockwork does not start. You should only ever have to do this once. It will be automatic from then on.

Watch the backup go!

Step 5 it attempts to download the package but it doesnt download it as it goes to half of the download bar.

Am I doing anything wrong?
[Vibrant General] d01100100:
The file finishes downloading within Rom Manager, and you're able to reboot into Recovery (the 2nd option below Flash Recovery).

After reboot, is it Default Recovery or Clockwork Recovery? One has if I recall correctly white text with 4 lines, whereas Clockwork Recovery is green text with 8 lines. If it's white text, then choose reinstall packages, it'll load the update.zip file which is the Clockwork Recovery file that was downloaded.

If the Flash Recovery option never completes successfully, are you attempting to download via wifi or data?
[Vibrant General] buru898:
Is your phone rooted?
[Vibrant General] TecknoFreak:
Ok, I did the first steps using Rom Manager and it did download the file and added a folder at my internal/sd_card root folder.

After reboot it took me to the Default Recovery.

I did the reinstall packages but it doesnt completes the installation.

Im attempting via WiFi as for now I dont have data available on my plan. :(

Do you think this is the problem?
[Vibrant General] TecknoFreak:
Yes is rooted mate
[Vibrant General] TecknoFreak:
Ok finely I have done everything pretty much perfect. I will now continue loading a custom ROM.
[Nook Color General] onclebob:
First sorry, i'm using google translate fo 'sizzling'.

Today i heard some little sound comming from the nook bottom, i think it come from speaker, i'm not sure.

The sound is constant when screen is on. No sound when off. I can hear it from a distance of 10 or 20 centimeters.

I tried to reboot. No sizzling during boot (the screen is on..). It comes when lockscreen appeares.

I'm using custom froyo for emmc.3 , dalengrin oc kernel (02/25 if i remember). Wretched 0.1.2 theme.

Is it generic, do you have it with your different roms?
[Nook Color General] timmyjoe42:
Have you tried using an app killer to make sure your games and media players are closed? Try killing everything to see if it goes away. I notice that when I am playing games such as Hungry Monstr or Angry Birds the nook hisses from the speaker.
[Nook Color General] onclebob:
I have this issue just after boot. No game or else launched..
[Nook Color General] evilPERSOn2009:
It could be the sound of you CPU being cooked since you overclocked it.;)
[Nook Color General] onclebob:
Tryed to restore setcpu to 800 too :]
[Nook Color General] aijaja:
my NC doesn't sizzle but the charger sizzles all the time when it is not charging.
[Nook Color General] chef123:
same as mine...
[Nook Color General] Ltryptofan:
On all 4 nook colors I have had the charger has made that static hiss :confused:. The speaker on my nook makes a similar noise but I can only hear it when I have my ear right on the speaker.
[Nook Color General] EverythingNook:
mine too, no clue why.
[Nook Color General] onclebob:
Ok, i'm not alone :)

Do you have a background noise using earphone too?
[Nook Color General] vertigomhs:
capacitors... my laptop charger has a sizzling sound to it too when im not charging.
[Nook Color General] onclebob:
It's weird that it doesn't do this during the boot process no?

Maybe it comes from the OC Kernel that boost audio speaker and earphone..

I changed the name of my stock rom from the date I saved it to (stock) so I would know what it was. Now when I try to restore it it says MD5 mismatch!. Is there a way to fix it or just get a new stock rom?
[Droid X General] bladebarrier:
The MD5 mismatch error happens for various reasons, but the most common one is due to having a space in the name, or an illegal character.

Change the name to thisismystockbackup, or something like that, and give it another shot.

[HTC Incredible S] db2boy:
Hi all,

Friend and I both have the Incredible S, loving it! He has a slight issue and I can't for the life of me solve it. Everything was working fine but now when he has an incoming call and the screen is off the incoming call screen flashes up briefly then disappears and device shows normal 'desktop' - you can't answer the call!

If you call his phone and the screen is active, incoming call screen pops up as expected and you can answer call.

Any ideas peeps?

Thanks

Ant
[HTC Incredible S] Sliphorn:
Hmmm,

I'm having the exact same problem. Running Fresh Evo on HTC Evo. Would love to know why this is happening. Any ideas?
[HTC Incredible S] db2boy:
Never worked it out, friend did factory reset in the end to fix it.

Ant
[HTC Incredible S] Sliphorn:
Bummer. Here's some info:

Latest Fresh EVO

Rom Manager

Rom Manager Janitor

Juice Defender Ultimate Juice

Titanium Backup Pro

Cachemate for Root

ShootMe

Adfree Android

adbwireless

Call Control (problem before this, though)

Launcher Pro

Any hints?
[HTC Incredible S] jenarelJAM:
Having the same exact issue. This sucks... This started today for me around noon ( no calls before then), and has persisted throughout the day. Yesterday was fine.

I use Google voice for all of my calls.

The only thing I've done today that I haven't done every other day was that I installed the Gtalk app this morning. In the past, I've used Gmail directly. However, my computer was off during at least one of the phone calls I received today, so I can't imagine this could be it...

Perhaps because I installed gAlwaysIdle (an addition to Gtalk that makes you never go idle or always be idle) as well?

Does this correspond with anyone else's experience?

I'll probably just reflash my phone :(

<Rooted Atrix 4g running GingerBlur>
[HTC Incredible S] Hawkysoft:
hmm this sounds like a serious firmware problem tho..

all i could suggest is flash a firmware that the most of the ppl are using, and dont got probs with...
[HTC Incredible S] timbo007up:
well doing a good reboot seems to help alot these days. So disable the fastboot option en turn it off, wait a while (10 secs should be enough) en start the device again.

Also had some of the trouble like crashing things and this solved it for me. Give it a try and hope it will fix it.

Otherwise there seems to be no other way than a factory reset (go htc!)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neonfire999:
So I followed this guide (http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Rooting_the_G2) to root, S-OFF, etc. my HTC Desire Z which is on Bell's network with a data plan and everything, and everything was going pretty well. Then I downloaded this ROM (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=822908) to de-brand my phone and it worked as well and everything is fine, except for one thing. The mobile network isn't working. My Wi-fi and normal cellular network that handles phone calls and SMS works, but I can't access the internet when there is no Wi-fi. Normally, when I would connect to the network, an icon would appear in the status bar showing when it was sending out and receiving information and what kind of connection it was (3g, etc.). Now, it doesn't appear when I turn on the Mobile network and I can't connect to the internet without Wi-fi. If anyone could help me fix this, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

To the op...that was a radio you flashed not a rom...might be your problem....
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianmcquinn:
No, that was an RUU. It's a complete stock ROM (so it does include a radio in it).

Just enter in the correct APN settings and you should be fine though.

Haha sorry, thats my bad.. i actually did google it and find it, I just wanted to be sure that there werent any user-specific things about it that I might have to worry about. I apologize for not being clear. Anyways, I entered in all the APN information except for username, password and server which apparently are supposed to be left blank. Then I rebooted the phone (turned it off, removed the battery, turned it back on) and I am still getting no connection...

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shoobshoober:
I figured I would get more varied responses in the general as opposed to Q&A section.

I'm just wondering how international usage would work for the evo? I plan to go to japan in the summer and from what I've read I don't think it could be done considering the evo doesn't have a sim card. however, there has been news about an evo being released by softbank in japan as well?

I couldn't find much information on it but would that one require a sim card?

also if I do bring my evo could I just use it as a wifi device on airplane mode? this way sprint won't charge me for anything I do while I'm there right?

any insight or advice would be appreciated!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lacrossev:
not sure if there are any options outside of international roaming (if its even available) but if it is the only option and you don't want to chance being charged astronomical rates for things updating on their own, I would suggest you call them and tell them to put a data block on your device during the time you're going to be in Japan.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cnstarz:
bump, my friend is going to Japan and is wondering if he can use his evo over there.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHausx:
The software for the Japanese Evos are branded to KDDI and I believe they are already on sale over there, I'm not sure how that would work roaming but you can disable data roaming separate from voice. If you were to go into one of their stores I'm sure they could switch it over for their network though.

edit: I got curious so I looked them up and found this... sounds like them and Sprint get along pretty well.

[G2 and Desire Z General] d@rklink:
I just ordered a larger SD card for my G2 (16GB, currently 8GB) and was wondering how I would back up everything on the current card and then transfer to the new card. Would I just connect the phone to my computer and attach as USB storage and copy the contents of the SD card to a folder? Then put the new SD card in the phone and connect to computer as USB storage and copy the backed up content to the new card? Should I consider formatting the new SD card as EXT through CWM before copying back over the data?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[G2 and Desire Z General] cjward23:
I have just done this today, I put my old sdcard in a sdcard adapter and new sdcard in a usb micro adapter the copied and pasted all my files from the old card to the new card. you could of course keep the old card in the phone plug in to PC and just put the new card in adapter and transfer that way.

With regards to EXT partition, I don't Really think it is necessary because our phones have a decent internal memory so unless you have hundreds and hundreds of apps stored on your phone I would leave it as it is. Unless there are any benefits to EXT partition that I'm unaware of.
[G2 and Desire Z General] bradley_e_smith:
I am guessing if I use the EXT partition type, then it wouldn't be readable on my windows 7 box (is there a device driver for windows 7 that reads ext)? Personally I like being able to take the SD card out and slip it into my laptop with an adapter.
[G2 and Desire Z General] cjward23:
If you partition your sdcard you will still be able to put it in to you pc and read the contents.

I think I'm correct in saying (please correct me if I'm not) when you partition your sdcard only part of it becomes and EXT partition and the rest remains FAT32. for example if you had a 4gb card and you make 1gb EXT partition when you plug the sdcard in to your PC the remaining 3gb would be accessible.
[G2 and Desire Z General] d@rklink:
Thanks everyone. I was a little unclear about the EXT partition stuff (and quite frankly, still am) but it sounds like its really not necessary.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kickasskev:
Just wondering if anyone else has lags in there roms the more apps and games etc they add/install.

I have tried loads of roms and they all seem to slow down and get laggier and laggier the more stuff you install.

Im currently using Superrom HD Data2Ext v2.0 and thought it was ok at first then when it starts to fill up it gets worse.

Anyone know a good rom that doesn't lagg up on app and game instalation.

I currently have 18 app/games and it runs fine now and again but some times it can just lagg like mad, this morning I had to remove the battery it was that bad and unresponsive.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meaple:
AOSP roms are very good with not becoming laggy and also the stock rom as well. HD rom tend to lag as I found out last week with InsertCoinHD Data++. Even using my internal memory, it still lagged massively.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foobar66:
Storing stuff on SD card will slow down your ROM, especially data.

I used to have data on SD card and tried a lot of combinations of kernels and IO schedulers but all of these showing various lags. Strangely enough, some of them gave very high quadrant scores (because of various caches) but almost as a constant I observed that the higher the quadrant score the more laggier the ROM.

If you need more space, store your apps on SD card. From there, the VM will generate .dex files in /data/dalvik-cache.

The key point is to keep your phone running as much as possible from the internal memory. This will reduce lags.

HD ROMs have more lagging than the non-HD ones. That is what I have experienced and I have tried almost all of them. So I am back to (modified) stock ROM.

But there can be many other reasons ... kernel ... settings that are done at boot time through /etc/init.d, very difficult to say in general.

I have got about 75 apps on my phone. No lags. Also no degrading performance over time.

I am running the stock Froyo (and removed unneeded bloatware), with custom compiled kernel, OC at 1113Mhz. Only apps are installed on SD (because otherwise not enough space) but all the rest is running from internal memory.

Check how many (background) services are running on your phone. I have 11. They may compete for some resources.

One other point ... check your kernel. Dalvik VM on HD ROMS requires cgroups enabled kernel. If your kernel does not have cgroups the VM will stall (causing lags).

Check the logcat ... you will see error messages saying "Unable to find CPU subsystem" ... in that case your kernel does not have cgroups.

for an example,

megatron rom requires format of ext partition on SD card.

is it really necessary?

from my understanding you are formatting for A2SD capability.

if I don;'t plan on using SD card as APP space, can I just skip the format step?

[Optimus One, P500, V General] hell1134:
It is not necessary to format and partition your sd card just because a rom has a2sd

capabilities.

If you don't format sd card, a2sd will not be activated.

However, if you want to use a2sd, you will have to format & partition sd card as per instructions.

I have installed various roms (which instructs to format & partition sd card, since they have got a2sd in them) without partitioning my sd card, and have had no problems with them ... *touchwood*...so far

[myTouch 4G General] coupetastic-droid:
So I been having problems with my data speeds since my bill cycle started over. I can't get speeds over .04-.05mbps anywhere! when I know I get 3.5-5.5 on a good day and area. I was throttled last bill cycle but now on this bill cycle I'm still at throttled speeds. I've called tmo already 3 nights in a row to see if they still had me throttled. They say I'm not throttled, they troubleshooted so I have a trouble ticket out right now. I'm just trying to see if I can get this fix myself. Tmo is lagging on calling me back. I need my 4g speeds back.the phone is horrible withou it and its killing me.

I just want if anyone with the factory unmodified apn settings can do me the favor of posting it up so I can match it with mine. I would really appreciate it.
[myTouch 4G General] neidlinger:
a quick reboot have always fixed that problem for me.
[myTouch 4G General] coupetastic-droid:
Done plenty of those.
[myTouch 4G General] neidlinger:
well changing the APn's will not adjust anything as far as speeds go. it's a connection problem between your phone and T-Mobile's servers. If you are that low and showing "h" on the not. bar then they still have you programmed as being throttled.
[myTouch 4G General] coupetastic-droid:
Yeah I do show the H on full bars. That's also what I been trying to explain to them, that only because it shows on their screen I'm not throttled doesn't me I'm not. I'm pretty sure they messed up some where. I just thought that probably the apn had some thing to do with it too. I'm just trying everything I can. They need real techs over there. Every one I spoke to seemed like they didn't know what the hell they wee doing and they were just reading off a page of instructions which I'm pretty sure they were.
[myTouch 4G General] erickdj:
are you still at the same area where you used to get the much faster speeds? I've had the mt4g since January and even though I have the "H" and full bars in my city the speeds are always between .15 to .6Mbps down, while the upload is usually around 700Kbps. Got trouble tickets going and service calls until a network engineer showed up at my location to do some testing. Turns out I'm sitting about 40 feet away from the t-mo tower, but given their current configuration, those speeds are all I'm going to get until there's further tower upgrades! I can hop on the freeway and drive south for 20 minutes and find a signal that gives me speeds of 2 to 4Mbps, but too bad I don't live or work there. I was put through the tedious troubleshooting "steps" too, even went as far as visiting a t-mo store and doing side-by-side testing with my phone and two of their phones, switched sim cards twice too. All that drama just to be told that the tower is operating "normally" in its current configuration and that's all the speed I'm going to get for a long time.
